All the Glastonbury 2016 headliners are British

Get your thinking caps on - the line-up’s coming in April.

All the Glastonbury 2016 headliners are British
As the rumour mill starts to spin a little faster, Emily Eavis has offered up a tidbit of info on who’s set to top the bill - all three Pyramid Stage headliners are British, she’s confirmed. Speaking to the Metro about the line-up, Michael Eavis confirmed that it’s coming in April, and stated that “Foo Fighters won’t be headlining this year,’ quashing rumours that they’d return to fulfil last year’s cancelled headline slot. They had to step away after Dave Growl broke his leg, remember that? Tantalisingly, Emily Eavis added: “We’ve got three brilliant British bands headlining the festival, although I haven’t actually told anyone that yet.” Time for those thinking caps then. Coldplay have already been announced as closing the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday, so that’s one in the bag, and PJ Harvey’s playing the Other Stage, so it’s not her. Bring Me The Horizon have all but confirmed themselves for the festival, as well. The latest batch of rumours pinned The Stone Roses and Adele as favourites to top the bill, though, so it’s all to play for. Glastonbury 2016 will take over Worthy Farm from 22nd-26th June.
